I ordered old shows of emergency and got just what I remembered. We were just in love with the guys as they were so cool, to see how far tv has come is incredible,but one thing they don't make family shows like these any more..

One of the 70's best action shows at its peak,
By B. Federovitch "Avengers/Emergency fan" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emergency!: Season Two (DVD)
Emergency!, the action show about firemen/paramedics which starred Robert Fuller (formerly of Wagon Train), Julie London, Bobby Troup (author of the song ''Route 66''), Kevin Tighe and Randolph Mantooth debuted in January, 1972 and had its share of kinks. The characters were sometimes too stiff and the scripts too one-dimensional. So in Season 1, you get your share of classic episodes like ''Botulism'' (which deals with food poisoning and a race to save the victims) and ''Brushfire'' (which has some of the series' best fire scenes), but also clunkers like ''Nurses Wild'' (which wouldn't air today because of its chauvinism) and ''Weird Wednesday'' (an entertaining piece on strange things happening in one day, but a theme that wears itself out quickly).Season 2 is much stronger and offers the following episodes: Problem Kids Show Biz Virus (one of the series' best as a deadly disease threatens the lives of both Brackett and Gage!) Peace Pipe (one of the silliest episodes and again too politically incorrect to air today) Saddled Fuzz Lady Trainee (maybe the best episode in the series as Gage and DeSoto must work with Ed Marlowe, a former Vietnam medic on an ego trip) Women Dinner Date Musical Mania Helpful Drivers School Days The Professor Syndrome Honest Seance Boot Rip-Off (an excellent piece where Johnny and Roy are accused of stealing) Audit As far as storylines are concerned, this is the season that introduces Captain Stanley (Mike Norell), who gradually becomes one of the stronger characters in the series. We get a ton of great guest stars like Dick Van Patten, Deidre Hall, Melissa Gilbert, Robert Pratt, Robert Alda, Charles Aidman, Jackie Coogan, Lloyd Bochner and many others as the series' TV ratings get stronger, particularly among children. You get more episodes in this collection than Season 1 and to this point the technical difficulties which hampered the first season DVD sets appear to be resolved. For kids, this series is a great learning device about firemen, paramedics, hospitals, rescue and safety. For adults, it's a great action show, which should bring back a lot of memories. In all, a must-have for your video collection. 32 of 35 people found the following review helpful

Rescue 51 - Season Two Looking Loud and Clear!,
By Glenn M. Schoditsch - Published on Amazon.com
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Emergency!: Season Two (DVD)
Well, no playable issues here as was/is with Season One; so far. I'm still disappointed with Universal's choice of double-sided, non-picture discs but a better choice of packaging with the slim-line cases.Automatic 5 stars for the series, no question there. You never know when a fledgling actor (at the time) may pop up. Anybody spot John Travolta as the injured hiker? Update: EMERGENCY FIX! Sadly I've come to my viewing of the last episode of Season 2. Gleefully, it appears Universal has fixed the freeze-ups with nice clean transfers with very little artifactual trash; and only one Universal graphics intro. Good job Universal! Lets hope they keep em coming. We're over due for more WEBB TV, as in Season 2 of ADAM-12 and Dragnet. Sure glad to see that Season 3 of EMERGENCY is on its way! 16 of 17 people found the following review helpful

The Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore,
By A Reader "hauseman1" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emergency!: Season Two (DVD)
This collection, like the first, deserves 50 stars. The first season was fantastic, the quality excellent. Shows like this are a dying lot, and its a total shame. So Season Two should be no different. I'm impatiently waiting for February.As an equipment buff, I enjoy being able to see all the old Biophones and old GE & Motorola radios used back then. We've come a long way from vacuum tubes and Plectrons. It's nice to see the old Crown Firecoach too. I can't rave enough about the clarity that's been preserved in these shows.
